How to make

• Preheat the oven to 400 degree F • Lay out a jellyroll pan with a silpat baking liner or even a parchment paper will do • Place the ground beef, sweet onion and bacon in a large and deep skillet and sauté until bacon has rendered its fat and the onions have turned translucent. Break up the ground beef as you sauté and drain well • Add red bell pepper and garlic to the ground beef. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes • Remove from heat and stir in basil, oregano, green onions and ketchup. Add salt and pepper according to taste. Allow the mix to cool to room temperature • Place a sheet of puff pastry between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently roll out to a rectangle shape of approximately 12 inches by 10 inches. Remove the top piece of plastic wrap • Spread half of the ground beef mix on the puff pastry leaving an inch clear on each of the four sides. Sprinkle with half of the cheddar cheese • Use the bottom plastic sheet to roll the puff pastry and filling it lengthwise into a log. Use the egg white as a glue to seal the roll. Gently press both the ends and close • Use a plastic wrap and lift the roll onto the prepared jellyroll pan or parchment paper and place the seam side down. Repeat the process with the left over sheets of puff pastry to get two rolls • Brush the top of the bacon cheeseburger puff rolls with egg white mix and bake it for 20 to 25 minutes until it turns golden brown • After baking, let it rest for 10 minutes • Slice the rolls in diagonal shapes into 4 pieces to serve

Tips regarding puff pastry

• If you are selecting a store brought frozen puff pastry, then go for the ones that use pure butter. Check the labels before you purchase a frozen puff pastry because many of them use oil or other fats that are not as tasty as the ones made using butter. • Allow the frozen puff pastry to thaw in the refrigerator overnight to ensure that the butter layers and dough remain nice and cold. • The trick to working with puff pastry is to move quickly while it is chilled, which is also one of the reasons why we want to cool the ground beef mixture before adding it to the dough.
